What type of screws secure in the GX640 bottom panel?

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knows what the official name of the types of screws in the bottom of the GX640 (GT627/1656/1651...). Mine are a little stripped right now and want to replace them if I ever need to fiddle around inside my machine again just to make sure I don't get screwed with an unopenable laptop.

Thanks in advance

 

According to this manual:
http://forum-en.msi.com/moderator/assembly-guides/MS-1651 Disassemble SOP.pdf
they should be M2.5x5mm phillips screws.

Although this particular manual is meant for an earlier model, I've found it very useful also for the GX640 as the designs are pretty much the same.

 

I see wut you did thar.

 

Always nice to see someone appreciates my horrible puns

Thanks for the link to the manual, that should work!

 

Ooo I notice you're in Waterloo. I go to UW, currently on my co-op term. Do you go to UW?

M2.5x5mm

any clue which height? Could someone help me out and measure theres? For previously stated reasons I would prefer not to touch mine at the moment

 

Its about .222"

 

is that even possible? Are u sure you're mesuring the right way? :S

 

I used a micrometer.
Its .222" to be exact!
Round up, its a 1/4"

 

what about length wise? Thanks a lot btw

 

.222" (inch) was the length.

The diameter is .019" (inch)

 

oooooooooooooooooooooooo wow, stupid me. I was thinking 0.222 centimeters which seemed im possible

 

lol!

.222" the mark at the end means inches
